My first Sophie Lark book!!!
I'm so glad I finally decided to take the plunge tbh. She's kind of a badass. No, I take that back. She is a total badass. Sophie, I bow at your feet, girl. You managed to make me, a true crime junkie who can't stand when people romanticize killers, to somehow love a full-on serial killer??? Granted, he's a lot better than his competitor. Listen to me, defending a murderer. Sophie, babe, what have you done to me?
Anyway, check your trigger warnings on this one, people. While it is a masterpiece, it isĀ NOT for the faint of heart by any means.
AND there is a sequel or part two or whatever you want to call it. So if you liked this one, make sure to check out its companionĀ There is No Devil. I haven't read her just yet, but I'm on my way and very ready for more.
